Category:Orphaned articles from November 2007

Please restore Category:Orphaned articles from November 2007 since it is no longer empty. I found one in the "few links" that had no article links heading to it. Thanks. 3gg5amp1e (talk) 14:43, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

3gg5amp1e there is a bot doing this. Moreover, not worthy to keep a cat for a single page. I moved the tag. -- Magioladitis (talk) 16:22, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

  • Special report: FDC candidates respond to key issues
    Elections have begun for five community members of the Funds Dissemination Committee, the Foundation's volunteer body for judging and recommending millions of dollars worth of annual grants to affiliates in the movement. The election lasts just eight days, from Sunday 3 May until 23:59 UTC on Sunday 10 May, so at the time of publication, voters will need to act promptly.
  • Traffic report: The grim ship reality
    Like colliding ocean liners, rousing entertainment and harsh reality merged ungainly in this week's top 10 list. The much heralded pay-per-view pummeling of Manny Pacquiao by Floyd Mayweather, Jr. dominated the list's top slots, giving this list one of its highest total view counts in months.

  • Foundation elections: Board candidates share their views with the Signpost
    Three community-elected seats on the Board of Trustees—the ultimate governing authority of the Wikimedia Foundation—will be decided by Wikimedians in the election to be held 17–31 May.
  • Traffic report: Round Two
    Casual viewers may think I've posted the same list twice. But no, readers just happen to be really interested in May 2's Big Fight. In fact, last week was just the weigh-in and the trash talk. This week, the numbers actually increased.
  • In the media: Grant Shapps story continues
    Grant Shapps, who was the co-chairman of the UK's Conservative Party until this week, has been accused of maliciously editing the Wikipedia biographies of his party's rivals.

  • In focus: The awful truth about Wikimedia's article counts
    The article counts of many Wikimedia wikis suddenly changed on 29 March 2015: as the Signpost reported at the time, sixty-five wikis fell below milestones tracked at the Wikimedia News Meta page, and three increased to new milestones.
  • Traffic report: Inner Core
    The list is topped this week by Danish scientist Inge Lehmann, thanks to a Google Doodle celebrating her 127th birthday. Lehmann discovered in 1936 that the Earth has a solid inner core. It is sometimes surprising to realize how recently such basic scientific knowledge of the Earth, which we now take for granted, was discovered.
  • News and notes: A dark side of comedy: the Wikipedia volunteers cleaning up behind John Oliver's fowl jokes
    Wikipedia editors logging in on May 19 found themselves walking into an unexpected amount of anti-vandal work to keep the site in line with its extensive biographies of living persons policy. A plethora of Wikipedia articles related to the United States House Committee on Appropriations, and the fifty-one representatives serving on it, have been hit by a raft of anonymous editors making often vulgar edits referencing "chicken fucker," or more creative combinations: "sexual conduct", "sexual congress", "fornicator", "intimate relations", or "trysts with chickens."
  • In the media: Jimmy Wales accepts Dan David Prize
    Jimmy Wales and five others accepted the 2015 Dan David Prize at Tel Aviv University on May 17. The prize comes with US$1 million, ten percent of which goes to doctoral and postdoctoral scholarships.
  • WikiProject report: Cell-ebrating Molecular Biology
    This week, we had the pleasure of interviewing WikiProject Molecular and Cellular Biology, which has come a long way since our last interview in 2008. Like most projects, it has a long member list, but only a small subset of that group regularly contributes. With 28 featured articles and 58 top-importance start class ones, the project has clearly had some success, but has a ways to go. We talked to three regular project contributors.
  • Arbitration report: Editor conduct the subject of multiple cases
    The Arbitration Committee has an unusually large case load at present. Although perhaps not on a par with the high-profile, multi-party cases seen towards the end of last year and the beginning of this year, with five open cases the arbitrators are likely to be kept busy for the next several weeks.

  • News and notes: WMF releases quarterly reports, annual plans
    The Wikimedia Foundation recently switched to a quarterly report structure to better align reporting with the generally quarterly planning and goal-setting processes.
  • Discussion report: A relic from the past that needs to be updated
    To many, Internet Relay Chat is an old relic, but not to Wikipedia. Wikipedia currently has an IRC help channel designated to help and assist editors with editing Wikipedia.
  • Traffic report: Summer, summer, summertime
    As usual for the time of year, pop culture rules this week. The start of summer vacation in the US means a focus on summer movies, particularly blockbuster sequels Avengers: Age of Ultron, Pitch Perfect 2 and Mad Max: Fury Road.
  • Technology report: MediaWiki blows up printers
    ...allegedly. In a post to wikitech-l, Steven Walling pointed out that the TV show CSI: Cyber had used a screenshot of MediaWiki's HTML output and claimed it was responsible for blowing up printers.

Dariusz Jemielnak, James Heilman, and Denny Vrandečić are set to take up their two-year terms on the Board. They will replace the three incumbents, all of whom stood this time unsuccessfully: Phoebe Ayers, Samuel Klein, and María Sefidari.
  • Technology report: Things are getting SPDYier
    Over the past few weeks, developers have been working on improving Wikimedia's performance when users connect to it using SPDY.
  • Traffic report: A rather ordinary week
    The traffic report is nothing unusual this week, with a Google Doodle for astronaut Sally Ride topping the list, the accidental death of famous mathematician John Forbes Nash, Jr. at #2, and the normal fare of recent popular American movies and television.

Hi could you please put up a cool picture for grinder blues, band members, and record label (megaforce/Sony) and associated acts. Thank you very much! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wyatt2112 (talk • contribs) 12:30, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

I was unsuccessful in changing the email address because I need to know the email address that you used to register. Can you either provide the email you used (you can email me, my username minus the (WMF) part @wikimedia.org or post the address here if you are comfortable with posting it. Alternatively, I can delete the old account but I'm not sure if there might be negative consequences in doing so. MModell (WMF) (talk) 20:01, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
